Simple Soul – Eddie Reader – letras

I’d lift my head with each sunriseIf I had a simple soulWhen I was weary I’d close my eyesIf I had a simple soulNot too complicated to shiver when I’m coldI’d make my home where I am boundIf I had a simple soul, simple soulI say my prayers and hope to GodAnd I know he will knowI will break my daily breadWhen hunger starts to growIt doesn’t have to be that hardIf it hurts you let it goWhat you see is what you areIf you’ve got a simple soul, simple soulIt might take an alchemistTo turn your dust to goldBut it only takes a child to seeThe diamonds in the coalIt’s not so easy when a habit takes a holdI never knew it would be so hardTo keep my simple soul, simple soul
